[quote=Anonymous]My experience with my own parents is Dr.s are too afraid to seem ageist and discuss the risks of things like anesthesia with dementia. They seem to walk on eggshells and be extra careful likely because we live in such a hostile and litigious society. I think we really to take an ethical look at how we advise families of elderly, but sadly the families can be insane like mine and can demand all sorts of life saving procedures for a person living as a vegetable who has already had close to 90 years of a very full life until the last 5. We had to talk certain family members out of suing when the hospital was clearly in the right for finally sending in hospice and doing what was right.[/quote]
